Lot 109 new home
 

Here is a new "progress" thread for a home I'm going to be building/ selling....l more details to come

Set the form but it's a mud hole now....

I know that feeling. The first house we built took us 3 weeks to pour the slab. We had to pump it out every day and re-dug the footings 4 times.

Good luck!

Hey Pox. I'm bout to start building! Might need a lil help dude.

Just let me know! U building yourself or hired a contractor?

Plan to hire a contractor. That's where I need some help. I need some advice.

Call me tomorrow n we will chat I'll pm u my number

Thanks man.

^^^ better description of home

That is nice Pox! We picked out a house on line. We just need some one to make some changes to it and draw it for us so we can get our construction loan rolling.

Already can tell is will be awesome. Love the front elevation.

Framing started tuesday, rain has been messing us up bad on all projects . As of today I have 3 families interested in buying the house, meeting with ar****ect to see if adding a " playroom" upstairs is possible for one of the families, if not I think we may build them a custom home . I'll post some pics tomorrow

Sounds like the housing market is doning good for you line of homes.

NIce Pox. Looking forward to seeing more pics.

thats a nice hood!

Got a signed contract today!

Big baller!!

Not quite

House is almost complete . Here is a picture of the foyer floor. Reclaimed white oak that will have a dirty top patina ( old saw marks, nail holes ect) laid in the herringbone pattern. It turned out so good I'm gonna do my entire home like this . I'll post more once it's sanded n finished

That floor is pretty awesome. Did you have it custom made?


BROWN FIN

Yes it was milled( tounge and groove, and a relief cuts in the back ) . The rest of the home is the same wood but random width. 3",4",6" wide planks .

Here's a few more recents

Pox, you don't have any trouble with putting the pot filler faucet on the left hand side above the cooktop? I thought most cooktops had the larger burners on the right hand side. Not being picky, just curious. When we built our home in 07' that was the case.

BTW, very nice looking house!

Fine work man!

That's why I do it that way the delta victorian pot filler is 2 pieces that are hinged so when it unfolds it has a roughly a 28-32 inch reach which works our perfect. If you put it dead center sometimes it over shoot one side. This is set up for a 48" range . I'll post a video once I install the range and show you it's easier to show than explain :spineyes:

Mine folds up also, maybe ours is just located a tighter on the right hand side. It will barely go past the center. My brother put his on the left hand side over a 48" Wolf dual fuel and they have to slide the pot to fill it.

Have you ever thought about using New York subway tiles for a back splash. They are like 3"x5" and look great.

Tat is what is on that splash in tw photo , maybe you can't see it cuz I took it with my phone. In out new home we are doing both baths upstairs with the old school hexagon tiles on te floor , subway tile wainscot and ceramic chair rail . Black/ white with white marble counter tops.

How does he like te wolf dual fuel??? I'm either putting te 48" wolf w griddle or a 48" Viking with the griddle not sure yet

He loves the Wolf, he has even learned to experiment in the kitchen. I never knew he could even cook. Go figure!

I like the wolf but right now Viking is offering me a better deal on the appliance package than wolf/subzero . I really like the Viking simmer . We are putting Thermador in this one ( lot 109) because that's what the owner went with

I have some pics of his kitchen at my house. I'll try to find them in the morning and post them in this thread. That is, if you don't mind.

Unless they have improved, do not put in the dual drawer dish washer. The seals seem to leak quite often.

Post em! The dual drawer dishwasher always made me nervous , we put one in lot 138 but the owners have only slept there 1 night since December so I have not had any feed back on it . I'm worried of a hose getting pinched or ripped out. We are going with the drawer microwave though in my new house

I haven't seen a drawer microwave yet.

I can say that the warming drawers are cool and the Sub Zero freezer drawers are fantastic.

The problem my brother had with the drawer dishwasher was with gaskets not a pinched hose, at least not yet. LOL

I HATE a drawer freezer!! Im putting a 36" built in all fridge and a 36" built in all freezer at the new house , we also are doing the same thing at 109 I should have appliances in the next 2 weeks I'll post em up

He has the separate frig and freezer but also has a couple of freezer drawers. With the grand kids it works out great!

I bet it does....I'm tired of fetching Popsicles...

Ohhhhh separate freezer drawers not connected to fridge or freezer . Yeah that would be ok for stuff u don't need all the time but I would hate having to always dig stuff out from under everything else

Yes, ice cream and stuff like that for the grand kids.

I agree, an upright freezer is the only way to go!

Grand kids....pttttf for my fat arse!!!!

In that case make it the top drawer and put a pot drawer under it. That way you don't have to bend over as far. :eek:

Brother's kitchen
 

Notice the pot filler on the left? It won't reach their large burners on the right hand side.

Awesome kitchen! Bad Azz Wolf and butcher block

A few days from completion

Few more pics

Paul where did your brother get that butcher block?

I'll find out tomorrow and let you know.

You and your peeps do some beautiful work!

Very nice Mike.

Looks real nice, I'm loving those wood floors
